Goal: Students will be able to work within the Dev-C++ IDE comfortably.
Objective: Make and use a template program with the outline of documentation and the basic structure used.
Early Dismissal Day
Filename: Blank.cpp Follow directions on handout in your white binder.
Make the template program that you will use to start many of your programs.
Upload it to your Gaggle digital locker.
Critical Information: A template program saves time and guarantees you have your main documentation and basic structure correct.
Critical Information: When starting a new program with the Blank.cpp template save the file with the new name immediately and change all occurrences of Blank.cpp to the filename of the new program.
C++ Program: GameOver.cpp
Find Blank.cpp in your Gaggle digital locker. Save it to the desktop with the filename, GameOver.cpp
Delete the using namespace std; line.
Change and add the appropriate code to do the program GameOver.cpp which appears on page 5 in the textbook.
Replace system("pause"); with the 2nd line of code at the top of page 9 in the trick section.

Goal: Students will be able to work within the Dev-C++ IDE comfortably.
Objective: Identify and understand the types of errors a program can have.
Paper and Pencil:
1. What does I/O stand for?
Read: Chapter 1 pages 1 - 11 in the black book.
Critical Information: Compiler errors are syntax errors which could be as simple as a typo, so proofreading is a good way to find them.
Critical Information: A program is not complete until it looks good, is commented thoroughly, and gives the desired results.
Paper and Pencil: (same paper as Do Now)
2. What does IDE stand for?
3. What IDE are we using in this class?
4. Explain the 3 basic types of errors you may encounter.
5. Explain why comments are used.
6. Explain what the line using namespace std; is used for.

Goal: Students will be able to work within the Dev-C++ IDE comfortably.
Objective: Debug a simple program.
Online: From our class website, save the file InputError.cpp to your desktop as Input.cpp
Critical Information: Read the highlighted error message and determine what it means.
Critical Information: Fix the first error then compile and run the program and repeat that process.
C++ Program: Input.cpp Fix the errors in the program.
Discuss: Input.cpp with the students near you.

Goal: Students will be able to find their way around the Dev-C++ compiler and text editor.
Objective: Change the background and text colors for the console output of a program to save ink when printing.
Objective: To practice using the proper procedures for working with Dev-C++ source code files and Gaggle..
Paper and Pencil:
1. How many different colors are available for our console backgrounds?
2. How many different colors are available for our console text?
3. How many different pairs of colors are available when you use different colors for the background and text? Show how you calculated that.
4. Are all color pairs reasonable to use? Yes or No
5. Why or why not?
6. Write the line of code for the system color pair that would best save ink and be easy to read.
C++ Program: ConsoleColors.cpp
Critical Information: In system("color f0"); f can be lowercase or uppercase, and the character after the f is a zero, not the letter O.
Critical Information: If the word system or color is undefined, check the spelling of #include<iostream>.
Paper and Pencil: (same paper as Do Now)
7. When you run the program, what is the initial system color background?
8. When you run the program, what is the ending system color background?
9. What line of text is produced in the output window with system("pause");?
